The Fox and her Hound
Dad, I laughed quietly to myself. If you could see me now. You’d never think I’d ever be here. An actual werewolf sleeping at my feet? I’m really back in Jericho… Seems so silly, fighting you all these years and in the end here I am. Maybe you’d be happy. I don’t know.
I like him... Elias. He seems like a great guy, maybe you'd like him too. Seriously, though, he's the alpha of your old pack. He seems dangerous and yet, he saved me. He seems to care about me, and maybe I'm silly for feeling it but I think I like him too.
Six months ago Freya's father died, sending her to the bustling city of Jericho. Nearly kidnapped her first night and actually kidnapped her second she finds herself at the mercy of the mysterious Alpha Elias of the Hollow Moon Pack. Her attraction to him is hard to ignore but she wasn't born a werewolf. Her conflicting instincts to want to run and reject this pack are prevented why she finds out Elias has to be the one to reject her. Just seeing the way Elias looks at her, though, Freya can tell it will take some convincing to finally be free from him. Then again... does she want to be?

Chapter: Chapter 21: FreyaAfter dinner I followed Elias up to the bedroom that was going to be mine for the foreseeable future. I looked at the various paintings and pictures that were on the wall, clearly near original to the house. Farmers and their families, large families. Families that just continued to grow and grow as each woman had five kids and they all have five kids. Then all of the sudden it just stopped as we neared the top of the stairs. There was an old picture, not nearly as old as the others this one had color to it and wasn’t browning. There were three kids in the picture they were hanging on each other and looked like they had just gotten back from some camping trip together. Three kids, out of all of those people three kids were all that were left? “Something wrong?” Elias turned back to me as I paused at the last picture. “Is this my dad?” He moved over my shoulder and looked at the picture. “I think so, looks like Rose in the middle, that’s Andre’s dad, Claude, on the left.

Chapter: Chapter 20: Freya“Deserve it?” I laughed back wiping the tears from my face. “The only thing I deserve is to be alone. I don’t deserve any kindness your pack has to offer.” They aren’t offering it. Elias whispered and I felt a daring rumble of a growl in his chest, I’m ordering it. You owe this pack, and me nothing. I owe you a new life and happiness. Please let me give it to you. Tell me how I can make it right? It was almost ethereal the way the moon shined through the trees raining light down onto Elias’s back. It looked like it caused him to close his eyes and I felt him relax. The truth was it couldn’t be made right. If we could go back in time so that none of this happened then everything would be fine. Reflexively I started to stroke his head. My hand rubbed backward patting down his ears further causing him to flatten out. Looking down at him I couldn’t help but see him in his human form. That black hair carelessly hanging just barely into his face. Damn, he was attractive even in my mem

Chapter: Chapter 19: EliasI jumped back to my feet quickly and snarled with as much of my pure wolf hatred I could at the two of them. Who’s watching Freya if you’re both here? Wow, Oliver looked to Andre, I guess we really messed up leaving the future of our pack completely alone in that house with no one to watch her. Andre nodded and answered back sarcastically, we’re absolute idiots it would seem. Then he turned back to me with an eye roll, Rose and her are talking so just relax okay. We’re going to have a serious talk now. That is if you can catch us. Oliver laughed and darted off to the left as Andre took to the right. Seriously? I yelled back to both of them, we’re not kids anymore this is ridiculous! That’s when Andre came at me once more from the side crashing into me. He didn’t send me flying back since I was ready but he knew he hit me right where that monster had left its mark hours ago. Run, I growled and gave him a three second head start. They met back up together at the edge of the

Chapter: Chapter 18: EliasI was the reason her life was ruined. She wasn't wrong, I could have let her go. Why was it so hard for me to let her go? Why was I allowing my goddess to convince me to treat her this way? Maybe she was right, my goddess wouldn't have wanted this for my mate. I left through the back door making sure to throw the clothes I had borrowed onto the bench in the mudroom. I jumped from the backporch onto the ground landing as a wolf. I knew these woods better than anyone, I spent more time here than the average pack member at least. I just needed some time away. I found it easier to think as a wolf the world was less complicated. 11 years ago -Elias I hadn't made it far, I didn’t know which direction I was going and I didn't think it mattered anyway. It’s not like I had anywhere to go. I think Lucien was certain he had found a loophole to making Oliver alpha and he was fine if I never came back. He could tell them I ran away and all of the sudden I wasn’t anyone’s problem anymore.

Chapter: Chapter 17: FreyaHe was silent the entire walk back to town. He refused to look at me, didn’t talk. He continued staring downward like he was taking me to my death. Maybe he was, but I certainly had a higher chance out there than in this place. I felt his heart breaking with each step like he had to keep convincing himself that he could reject me. On some level I understood it was going to hurt him, but it would fade. Andre even said so. He’d be okay. He’d find someone better than me. He’d find someone who was a werewolf and he’d be better. Even if at this moment I didn’t want him to find someone else, I wanted him to choose me I wanted him to fight for me, I knew it was just that stupid goddess. Inari, I sighed looking up at the sky, he was known as the false moon, the trickster, I needed him to step in I needed him to stop this moon goddess. She was going to get me killed. “You’ll take my car and get out of town. Don’t worry about returning it, I don’t use it anyway.” Elias was speaking so l

Chapter: Chapter 16: EliasShe was infuriating. That was it. I kept seeing little bits here and there of something that could have been with us, but now she has endangered my pack. She nearly got Andre killed, and that fucking thing, however unnatural it was clearly was after her. I needed to cut ties with her. She wanted it, and after everything, maybe she was right. We were too different. Then she had to go and stake claim to me. It caused me to let my guard down while fighting and nearly get torn in half, which was my mistake. Oliver saw it with his own eyes, she put down that line, and she warned Chloe not to cross it. I never thought someone could feel that strongly about me. Of course, then it ended. She was as changing as the fucking tide. One moment, she was in heat over me, then she tried to run away. Then she claimed me as hers with that very clear signal, and when she lunged for me like I was on my last breath, I thought I was going to collapse into her arms. But she ran away from me, she hid fro

Chapter: Part 4: Bond Chapter 25: A Connection“You accessed the bond, he felt you upset.” Helix whispered. “Move to the side!” Sage pushed her hands through the bars causing me to go backward, “Get away now!”Dimitris busted through the door nearly throwing it off the hinges as he zeroed in on Yvet, “You brought her down here!” He then turned to Sage, “What did you say to her?”“I’m waiting right here.” She stood back in her spot clicking her heels together.‘Get back upstairs!” He glared at me then Yvet and finally what I assumed was the invisible Helix behind me. “Fuck!” He yelled, “Yvet, take her to my room now!”She pulled me past him and I lost the stale scent. Helix had to have said something to him. Now he was fixated on Sage.“Fuck you,” hte guard snapped at me when we passed, “He’ll reprimand me because of you.”“You deserve far worse for how you’ve treated her!” I barked back and had to continue to be dragged out by Yvet, “Be happy it’s him and not me you have to deal with!”Validation sparked a smile in me as I saw th

Chapter: Part 4 Bond Chapter 24: The Maiden BelowThe next day Helix came back with Yvet, I figured it was because they could better explain Helix if she was with him. He started in the typical fashion that many fae always did when talking down to changelings. I needed a history lesson, “Fae are taught by their parents about bonds and the difference between a mating bond and a non-mating bond. The first thing they are taught is that you are gaining power at the expense of opening yourself up to a great weakness. It can be devastating.”“If they’re opening themselves up to a weakness then why would anyone do it?” I laughed while picking at my breakfast. “You’re almost to the point of understanding.” he smiled. After breakfast we walked around the castle just to help stretch my legs. “I just don’t get it.” I sighed, “what am I doing wrong?” I hadn’t been able to feel anything about Dimitris, apparently that’s all I needed to do but nothing about what I was trying seemed to matter. I felt like all I was doing was thinking to myself, “

Chapter: Part 4: Bon Chapter 23: A Bond ClosedDays later and I was finally able to stop myself from crying. I felt like I had failed Dimitris in so many ways and there was no way I could ever repair it. Yvet and Helix stayed near me though I did notice for one hour every day Helix would disappear. How had I not seen this before? All those times I thought Dimitris was sleeping next to me he was just faking it? How could he not trust me to know this about him? “How’s it going?” Conrad and Hectyr were visiting me today, I was still on bedrest. Conrad seemed to be the one to visit the most today though he brought Hectyr who honestly the only connection I felt with him was our shared windtouched ability. “Heard you’re healing nicely.”I nodded looking down at my hands. My right one was still wrapped tightly. Everything about my right side, the side I had rested on Dimitris in that forest, was burned. I was told the only thing that saved my life was the fact I was a changeling. No human could have done it. “Hectyr’s here to try and h

Chapter: Part 4: bond Chapter 22: To Truly Protect“I strongly caution you against that.” Helix spoke now at full volume. “Are you going to try to stop me?” I growled and then flashed over to Yvet. “Or you?”Helix raised his hands, “For the record we both tried out hardest to stop you, but it seems you were too strong.”Yvet just rolled her eyes crossing her arms, “If she gets hurt you and I both know that defense will only get us so far.”I didn’t question it. I just pushed past both of them and sprinted down the hall. I knew where I was heading, the double doors to the forest, but what I was going to do to try and survive out there was still going to need to be a spur-of-the-moment thing. My feet stopped dead in their tracks though, as the rest of the Attason family were already there waiting for me. “There she is!” Anju smiled, nudging Conrad in the side to get him to also turn around. “Told you she wasn’t in danger out there.”I shrugged, “You thought that was me?” pointing out into the forest I dared to turn once more to see t

Chapter: Part 4: Bond Chapter 21: A Forest on FireI smelled that same stale scent of Helix the rest of the afternoon while in the library. Dimitris had left. I knew it was just because he needed to return to court duties but I was taking a stand on this. I refused to leave this room and I had made it a point that I was not going to go to dinner. “You’re going to argue for him I guess?” My grumbling didn’t need to be vocalized; Helix was well aware of my distaste for the situation. “He asked me to stay to help you today.” Helix emerged from the corner in full view, “I protested, but he said he would be okay.”“Help me do what?” I snapped, but my anger was misplaced. “You need to learn to control your emotions and your thoughts through the bond. It is dangerous for him if you are not in control.” I hated how professional Helix sounded. It was like he didn’t have any emotion in his words or care for anyone else. Rolling my eyes I continued to try to dismiss the situation, “He can just close off the bond then. Seems like he’s good a

It was held in just one of his hands while the other was tapping his forehead rhythmically.“Nothing to say to me then?” I glared throwing myself down in the center of my book towers. “What is there to say?” he mumbled back. “You cannot be queen Ashai. I’m not entertaining anything that might be circling in your head.”“Fine,” I huffed.“Fine.” He smiled back“You’ve been busy in here-”“Is that really what you want to talk about?” I snapped. He shrugged, “I figured talking about what happened at court today would be too fresh.”Deciding to play along I rolled my eyes, “Yes, I’ve been putting everything in chronological order. Trying to figure out your ages.”He shook his head, “Any closer to the great discovery?”“If there was,” I glared over from my book, “Don’t you think I’d have told you? At least one of us doesn’t keep secrets from the other.”“Fair enough my dear.” He returned to his own book. “Any questions about what you’ve managed
